It feels like the bare minimum thing we could do to save our own futures here is “not do the New York Times and the GOPs work for it by helping publicly speak the outcome they want into existence.”
I am absolutely scared shitless by this moment and I’ve been scared shitless of this moment coming for over a decade, but I’ve also concluded that the LAST thing we can collectively afford to do is projecting indecisive shrieking cowardice to everyone less politically plugged-in than we are.
it makes me insane to see/hear ppl I thought were otherwise sane, mentally wacking off to Stuart Smalley-esque deep thoughts about an authoritarian govt as though that WOULDN'T make their lives suck beyond all belief while saddling 4 generations of descendants with figuring it the fuck out.
